Hi trader trends,
actually i use cci for entering and exit the trade and that too on daily time frame. Definition of trend on CCI is totally different then what one might consider and method suggests not to change the time frame. But now as raunak sir told to filter higher with the lower time frame, thats really gonna help for perfect entry. I think i knew it some where(linkon sir told me once) (and also once read in raunak sir's thread, where he stated about crossing of stochastic on daily and weekly at same place - it was a system) but was just missing it cause of manual instructions. I know we have to tweak it our way. But i was just working the robot way with it.
About making mind for an entry, i take entry based upon the pivots. if the price is in my desired range i buy it. but i think i will have to tweak it a litle.
Rajputz, I agree with TT that ur entry-exit triggers should come from the TF that u are trading.. but while taking trading decision, you should use higher TF. This will help u in assessing reward/risk ratio.
Like current situation.. if Weekly is showing resistance at 5170, and your daily TF , give u buy signal at 5120, your reward is most probably capped at resistance of higher TF..
But if you get a short signal on daily chart, when price is near weekly resistance zone, your reward/risk ratio and probability of success is much higher.
I think, that's is where the use of higher TF in trade selection, becomes important. It helps u picking up those high probability, high reward, low risk trades. If your system is designed smartly, then it should be able to rate each trade signal otherwise, computer systems are dumb. and they can't see what human eyes can see. So either build this extra intelligence in your system, or use your own discretion.
Happy Trading
